Boxer, Kerry Set to Introduce Climate Bill in Senate
New York Times ^ | September 28, 2009 | DARREN SAMUELSOHN

Ending some nine months of closed-door deliberations, Sens. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) and John Kerry (D-Mass.) will release global warming legislation Wednesday that they hope will be the vehicle for broader Senate negotiations and an eventual conference with the House.

The bill's authors said last week that they expect to start hearings early next month on the bill, with a markup in Boxer's Environment and Public Works Committee to follow soon thereafter. They also acknowledged that their legislation is just a "starting point" in a bid to win over moderate and conservative Democrats, as well as Republicans.

"I hope what we've done is constructive and well-received," Kerry, the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, said Thursday. "I have no pretensions, and neither does Barbara, that this will be the final product. It is a starting point, a commitment, full-fledged, across party lines to do what we need to do to protect the planet for the next century."

If that is true, I am a virgin.

THE problem is that they have voters who support this psychotic behavior.

Congress clearly no longer cares.....they are hell bent on destroying America....it’s like they are zombies and are totally disconnected from reality.
I THINK THE NWO IS REAL and its coming to a local government near you in the next few days, weeks, or months.

Lucifer is real folks and he knows his time is short....

Boxer, Kerry, and the rest of the worthless Congress Critters should be sent to Antarctica to do some Global Warming reconnoitering for a few months.

No...really.

I’d like to send the entire Congress to a state psychiatric hospital. 3/4 of them would be held for further observation.

You don't, though, do you.

Why should they stop lying now?

The current government is a national security problem.
